Super university internet. I don't know how fast it is. But I did send a file to my friend (in another dorm building) @ 7mb/s. :D

Teaching and inspiring.

ADSL. 100Mbps. :(

 

 

 

$5 more a month to get 250 Mbps but 100 is fine with me.

The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard.

You didn't list mine, I have fixed wireless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My home telephone line has ISDN installed on it, and I don't feel like paying the two to three hundred bucks to get it switched.

512k ADSL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also use GPRS on my phone (not when at home obviously) to check topics on my own forum.

 

 

 

dont know what speed GPRS is but slower than anycomputer connection i use.

56k Dail-Up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking to upgrade, but in Australia, as most other Aussies know, we have some of the worst plans around :(

TPG isn't bad for internet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd recommend Ozemail but they're [bleep] a bit of a [bleep] atm.

 

 

 

You just have to check out their ADLS2 plans to realise why.

I think TPG would be about the best right now, my mate has 1.5mb with 20gig for $50/month.

cable <3

3meg down, 1 meg up satelite... but storms = bad news for me :cry:

...

1.5mb down 768k up(not sure about the up).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my mate has 1.5mb with 20gig for $50/month.

 

 

 

$50 a month for 1.5mb? Thats kinda expensive, isn't it? My internet (same speed) is only $30 a month.

56k..actually 28.8kbps on a good day :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upgrading to DSL January, when our dial-up plan runs out

Not in Australia. :)

over 3mbit up and down. Straight ethernet connection to a local server, throttled, and then straight onto the backbone :). Downloading stuff from sourceforge or legal torrents (read: Linux iso's) at 330-350kbyte/s = win

8 mbit down 2 mbit up dsl

Why did you put DLS and Satellite in the same vote? They are completely different

I have used DSL for quite awhile now...much better than 56k, must worse than cable :)

For 4+ years I had 1.5 Mbps down ADSL, but my provider got worse and worse.. It got to the point where some times I would be disconnected every 5 minutes for 2-3 days straight. I phoned and they fixed whatever the problem was, but within a month another problem would creep up. I also never got close to the 1.5 Mbps speed, it was usually around 1-1.2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the summer a few months ago I switched to 5 Mbps down/512K up Cable. It is $5 more, but I almost always get close to the max speed (so 5x that of my ADSL), I haven't experienced any significant problems, my latency is a bit better (suprisingly), and triple the bandwidth (though the ADSL provider was never strict about it). I wouldn't switch back to the ADSL if it only cost $5 a month, it is inferior in every way to the connection I have now (speaking specifically about my previous provider, Telus).
